people like my parents or people back home often ask me if the reason why the industry is being killed in slow motion is due to AI, and it's a 15 minute long conversation to understand the real reasons why, at the heart of which are: people who own TV don't make TV and don't want to make TV

They fully admitted to knowing the connection, but accepted the offer because it meant cash in hand for them. The artfol devs sold out on its users for scientology, and used corporate speak to apologize without taking action. 💀 Holy shit.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

The Squeakuel
4 panel comic in which an offscreen chef tries to slip diarrhea into a customer's burger by adding it to various parts of the meal including the lettuce, the bun, the sesame seeds, and then the plate it's served on.  When questioned on this, the chef stoically responds, "Everyone is going to eat diarrhea in 10 years"

I know we’re numb to this, but it is really bad that journalists and politicians both feel so comfortable lying. Society cannot sustain itself when its elites just lie like this.

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.

Say what you want about the rendering style, I think the actual shape language of these faces is gorgeous. There is a really nice flow to how one feature leads into the next, and just enough eccentric choices in each design to make them each distinct. No generic anime faces here.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.
